The rim is raised in one piece with it and projects upward, as shown at D. lts form is such that it ts closely within the mouth or opening of the vessel. E is the upper portion of said rim. It is formed so as to represent wire, or it may bewired, if desired. Its object is to form a shoulder to set against the top of the mouth or opening. 1t also strengthens the rim. 'lhe bottom is also stamped or otherwise formed, as shown in the section. It is also provided with a rim projecting downward, as shown at F. The lower part is either wired or formed in imitation of wire, as shown. lt is fastened to the bottom of the vessel by being` slipped in, and then grooved by a tinmans turning-machine, as shown at H, which effectually fastens it in place.
